Automount NTFS USB drives using ntfs-3g

Anyone know how to Automount NTFS USB drives using ntfs-3g
so they are read/write?
I'm guessing there is a HAL script I have to change.
All the distros seem to set this up in different places.

I've look in /usr/lib/hal/scripts
There is a script 'hal-luk-setup' which looks related.

Any pointers appreciated ..

Quick follow up. I tried some of the stuff in the post
here http://usalug.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11733&start=65

Swapping the symlinks in /sbin did not work.

More worryingly there is a symlink on my system
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/20-ntfs-config-write-policy.fdi
which points to a non-existent
/usr/share/ntfs-config/write-policy.fdi

In fact all of /usr/share/ntfs-config is empty!

Hmmm.
